#987 – 13 Sins

There is at the heart of 13 Sins an idea; it’s a premise with promise. And this idea just about carries the film through, sadly though, it never fully reaches its potential. In fact the whole thing falls just short of interesting, slipping instead into a vague mix of cliche and gore porn.
